Chapter 76: The Young General!

Until the end, Todoroki Raichi still couldn't forget Sawamura's Forkball just now.

'So strong!'

Not to mention his mentality and his skills as a pitcher, he simply thought that Sawamura's pitching was the best he had ever seen in the real world so far. (Well, he did not see much either.)

The pitching form where you can't see where the ball starts.

An arsenal of Breaking balls.

Precise ball control.

Sawamura's pitching characteristics, honing one of them, are enough to make a very good pitcher.

Not to mention all of them!

Although Sawamura is not the best in every one of them, his overall strength is the best. Isn't playing all about a comprehensive strength?

The two Forkballs completely disrupted the rhythm of Todoroki Raichi, and the final Straight Fastball became a Winning Shot.

At the time of the second ball, the first thought that appeared in my mind of Raichi was will Eijun throw a Straight Fastball?

However, when it came to the third ball, Raichi had no such thought at all. He was just subconsciously swinging with the rhythm of Sawamura and Miyuki.

The battery decided to end the duel fast without dragging it out or no one knew what Raichi would do.

Seidou's rest area.

"Great!"

"Just like that, let's get rid of all the batters in one go."

"Ace! Ace!!!"

After solving Raichi, facing the fourth and fifth batters of Yakushi, there is nothing to say.

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE! BATTER OUT!"

"STRIKE! BATTER OUT!!!"

Sawamura didn't even use half of his strength, and Struck Out the Fourth and Fifth Batters of Yakushi High School, completely pushing Yakushi into the abyss.

The dugout of ​​Yakushi High School.

Mishima's eyes were full of stars.

So Cool!

As expected of His Majesty the Demon-King!

"It's troublesome now." Sanada smiled wryly.

After the offense of Yakushi High School in the seventh inning, they only had the eighth and ninth innings left to attack…

Unsurprisingly, Sawamura will never fight Raichi again in the end!

If that's the case, it would be difficult for Yakushi to recover the score.

"Tsk!"

"Don't be disheartened like this."

Todoroki Raizou snorted coldly.

"The game isn't over yet, isn't it great to have two more innings? Now that you see the ultimate move that Sawamura has reserved, you have at least two chances to deal with it. This is better than if he only uses it at the end."

Hearing Todoroki Raizou's words, all Yakushi's players blinked and looked at Todoroki Raizou with hope.

"Could it be that the Coach has come up with a countermeasure?"

"Of course not!" Todoroki Raizou mercilessly cut off everyone's delusions.

Just seeing Sawamura's new Breaking ball, what can he figure out? He had been preparing for a month before, but he didn't find any obvious weakness in Sawamura.

Not to mention the evolved Sawamura!

"But he's not going to be throwing that all the time, is he?"

Todoroki Raizou definitely judged.

It's a bit embarrassing to say that to them, but in fact, Sawamura certainly wouldn't throw a lot of Forkballs at the other players of Yakushi.

They don't deserve it!

So, for them, the situation is no different from before.

"As long as he doesn't focus on the Forkball, our chances are still there." Todoroki Raizou said.

"Yes, Coach."

"The game isn't over yet!"

After listening to the words of Todoroki Raizou, the atmosphere in the rest area of ​​Yakushi became active again.

Seidou's rest area, Miyuki glanced at the rest area of ​​Yakushi High School in surprise.

"Unexpectedly, a few words brought the team's momentum back. This uncle has a very good way."

Sawamura said indifferently: "Of course, Yakushi won't be easily discouraged. For them, the current top eight are well-earned. They have nothing to lose, and now they have nothing to lose. Will there be a burden in their minds?"

No pressure, Yakushi's players can naturally go into battle lightly.

In the stands, Fujio, the reporter from Baseball Kingdom, said something similar to that of Sawamura.

"Compared to the pressure on Seidou, the current Yakushi has nothing to lose. Instead, Seidou shoulders the burden of revival and the burden of being the champion of the Kanto Tournament. If you can't get points from Sanada, what will change at the end of this game, it is hard to say."

The task in front of Seidou is very simple!

That means you have to score points!

A three-point lead is enough for the rest of the team. However, for Yakushi, this score may not be enough.

Seidou must score another point.

In the second half of the seventh inning, Seidou High School attacked.

"Fourth Batter, first baseman, Yuuki-kun."

Kataoka gave him a sign before he made it to the zone.

Yuuki Tetsuya nodded and walked to the strike zone.

This is the first time Tetsu has faced off against Sanada.

"Yuuki!"

"Yuuki!!!"

In the rest area, in the stands…

From all directions, there are voices cheering for Captain Yuuki.

Despite Sawamura's strength, and Miyuki who is also a national star player.

But now the Fourth batter of Seidou is still Yuuki Tetsuya!

On the pitcher's mound, Sanada also felt it and felt that this batter was different.

'This guy is the super big batter of Seidou High School! If you want to reverse, we have to beat him.'

Raising his hand, Sanada threw his first ball without flinching.

Whoosh!

The white ball whistled.

When the first ball was at Yuuki's hand, he swung the bat without hesitation.

Ping!

After the white ball was hit, it fell out of bounds.

"FOUL!"

On the strike zone, Yuuki's expression did not change at all, but Sanada's pitching was constantly being played in his mind.

After the ball entered the strike zone, it broke rapidly!

'The speed of the ball is almost the same as that of a Straight ball. The Pitching Form is also very good.'

'If you want to hit the ball accurately, it is best to choose a Straight ball or a Cutter ball.'

'Straight ball, Sanada has not been using the Shuuto very much until now!'

'If you want to choose, choose Cutter Ball.'

After making a decision in his heart, Yuuki suddenly had a bad feeling.

'Before, the reason why Sawamura didn't hit well was that he subconsciously thought that Sanada would not pitch a Straight ball for him?'

'Sanada's Cutter ball is not much different from his Straight ball. Therefore, unlike normal Breaking balls, there is a big limit of the ball count.'

So, in theory, he can throw Cutter as many as he wants.

In the major leagues, there are famous pitchers who use the Cutter Ball as a core weapon.

One is that there are too many Pitches, and the other is that it is really not easy to play!

Therefore, everyone subconsciously thinks that Sanada's decisive ball is Cutter's ball.

In fact, he can also do the opposite.

He use the Straight ball as a fishing ball!

Therefore, it could also be a Straight ball! And also Possibly Cutter Ball!

'If you're not sure what he will throw, I'll hit the two together.'

Whoosh!

Sanada throws the ball.

Tetsuya take a step forward!

'I don't know if it's a Cutter ball or a Straight ball, so I'll hit the ball out before it gets in my hand.'

BUZZ!!

He swung the bat like a dull thunder and directly smashed Sanada's ball out.

PING!!
